    autumn a little more paprika

    —RICH SCHILLING

    Wonderful! I prefer Smoked Paprika myself and the Devilled Eggs have to have heat and not just paprika, which in England seems to be very mild for some reason.

    Fascinating history including:
    Paprika is used as an ingredient in numerous dishes throughout the world. It is principally used to season and color rices, stews, and soups, such as goulash, and in the preparation of sausages such as Spanish chorizo, mixed with meats and other spices. In the United States, paprika is frequently sprinkled raw on foods as a garnish, but the flavor is more effectively brought out by heating it in oil.[citation needed]

    Hungarian national dishes incorporating paprika include gulyas (goulash), a meat stew, and paprikash (paprika gravy: a Hungarian recipe combining meat or chicken, broth, paprika, and sour cream). In Moroccan cuisine, paprika (tahmira) is usually augmented by the addition of a small amount of olive oil blended into it. Some dishes call for paprika (pimentão) in Portuguese cuisine for taste and color.

    Another spice, with a history of ammunition, but we won't go there for this one. :-)

    Very nice – on many levels – not just taste and mood, but also the unspoken colors.

    What a tasty, wonderfully visual one liner – I would call this (as well as Alan Summers? below) a gastroku!

    And interestingly, on Call of the Page haibun courses, as well as our Writing Through It, the use of describing meals past and present are incredibly evocative. Issue 2 of the Blo?o Outlier Journal will surely explore this. Gastroku to gastrobun! ;-)
